Gurtam is a leading global developer of telematics software. Their fleet management and GPS tracking software is used by thousands of businesses and runs on fleets in over 160 countries, requiring skilled operation management among teams all across the globe.
When TeraSky, a Google Premier Partner, first approached Gurtam’s team about Gemini, it came as no surprise that the company was already using AI tools. Gurtam had already integrated AI into its product solutions and systems to enhance technical support, facilitate complex case solutions, and provide specialized internal AI assistants.
Seeing the current benefits of AI to their customer satisfaction and team’s workload, introducing Gemini to Workspace was a natural step for Gurtam. To better understand how Gemini and the collaboration with TeraSky helped Gurtam’s team, we spoke with their Head of IT Sergey Kulish and Lead IT Specialist Vladimir Nikitin.
A personal assistant for routine tasks
Both Sergey and Vladimir were avid users of chat-based AI tools like Gemini and pointed out clear benefits of using them on a daily basis:
"Somehow, I didn’t end up working less hours. (laughs) But I have to say that in general, AI saves a lot of time." – Sergey then added when asked where he spends all of this saved time.
Turns out, once you’re equipped with a tool like Gemini, you can dedicate more time to deep work and mentally challenging tasks. It makes the work more fulfilling over the long term and is a massive advantage regardless of the role one has.
The benefits and limitations of Gemini for Google Workspace
Despite using other tools in the past, the team at Gurtam found Gemini for Google Workspace to be the most convenient option over time.
Both interviewees quickly pointed out that it’s important to have the right expectations for this category of tools as they have their limits.
For example, Gurtam’s multi-language sales team is looking forward to updates that will improve Gemini’s performance with call transcripts in languages other than English. But these gaps in performance get addressed on an ongoing basis and are just a temporary nuisance.
One thing they especially liked was how easy it is to access Gemini from your working environment. It is hard not to use it when it’s so easily accessible in the tools one already works with on Workspace.
Using Gemini to deal with 100,000 emails
Aside from the obvious, Gemini for Workspace also had some unexpected benefits.
Gurtam transitioned to Google Workspace a couple of years ago, but many team members continued to use third-party email clients out of habit. The ability to use Gemini directly within Gmail became a turning point, motivating many to transition fully to Gmail and use all of its advantages.
It became clear what lures people to the Gmail with Gemini experience, when Sergey shared his co-worker’s story.
While 100,000 emails might be an extreme case, even managing 1,000 plus emails can be overwhelming. Gemini’s ability to efficiently process large volumes of data makes for an incredibly useful assistant for quickly finding the right information within Gmail or elsewhere.
Getting a head start with workshop from Google and TeraSky experts
As with any tool, there are old habits and working patterns to tackle. Gurtam trusted TeraSky to organize an extensive 8-session workshop with product experts and engineers from both Google and TeraSky.
Aside from the knowledge gained, Sergey also pointed out the convenience of not having to plan and organize this workshop using the company's internal resources.
The workshop was well-received and helped people in Gurtam’s IT, marketing, sales, and HR departments to see the practical benefits of using Gemini in their day-to-day tasks.
The winning partnership formula
When asked to describe the experience and benefits of working with TeraSky, Vladimir’s praise extended beyond Gemini:
And Sergey noticed how easy it is to take a good experience for granted:
By working with TeraSky, Gurtam found the perfect solution to help them succeed today and in the years to come: a tool that makes their team’s work easier and a partner that truly understands their needs.
